Q is the midpoint of PR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
. If PQ=4x+5,
andQR=2x+25
, what is the value of x

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Q  is the midpoint of PR: PQ = QR

4x + 5 = 2x + 25

2x = 20

x = 10

(8+64)^2= 5184 < answer

step-by-step explanation:

2^3 = 8

4^3= 64

(8+64)^2 = 5184

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
